Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then generously season both sides of the chops with the seasoning blend.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Carefully place the pork chops in the skillet, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes until they develop a golden-brown crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.
Tilt the skillet slightly to one side, and using a spoon, continuously baste the pork chops with the melted butter and herb-garlic mixture for about 2-3 minutes.
Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They are done when the temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the pork chops warm, drizzled with the garlic butter sauce from the skillet. Pair with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a delicious meal.
